The growing success of the Ranveer-Deepika starrer Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela despite a lot of controversies has surely left its actors thrilled. Rejoicing the victory, Gulshan Devaiah, the bad guy in this Indian adaptation of Romeo-Juliet says, “It’s really overwhelming to see this kind of response. People send me messages on Twitter and Facebook. Like the other day when I went to the gym, people there were like ‘Hey you were really cool man.’ The feeling is so complicated… it’s as big as a Tsunami. Kya kahein, yeh sab Ram ki Leela hai.”
Starting his career with unconventional films like Shaitaan and Hate Story, Gulshan Devaiah breaks the trend with a commercial film like Goliyon ki Rasleela Ram-Leela where he plays the notorious villain. Playing the menacing Bhavani reveals yet another grey shade of Gulshan, just like his previous hits. Is that a mere coincidence? “I like to do things that are slightly out of the box or teda. I want to try and take up roles which are unlike me. Mostly the understanding is that there is a hero who is always shining and there is a villain but there is nothing in between. We all are imperfect. The difference is some people have darker shades of grey and vice versa. In this film, Bhavani’s negativity is highlighted. And as I said before, I like exploring the different phases of human psychology which happen only in such roles.”
The actor who cannot stop gushing about the success of his latest release revealed that if not for his friends and family, he would have never agreed for the film. “I found it really difficult to say a ‘yes’ to Bhavani. It was my manager Shobha Sant and my wife Kalliroi who convinced me to take up this offer.” But his obstacles increased after he joined hands with the Ram Leela team. This urban lad turning into a Gujju gaon ka chora was no cakewalk. “Learning the flavor and accent of Gujarati was a little difficult. I went for a workshop with Homi Wadia (who plays Ranveer’s father) for a couple of days. And of course learnt a lot from Supriya Pathak! Being around her really helped me understand the rhythm of Gujarati since she is so experienced. Also, I spoke in a flatter voice to give the villainous feel which helped me get the pronunciations better.”
Now with a success like that, Gulshan is bound to be flooded with offers and a few may even involve him playing the role of a hero. But the actor says that he doesn’t want to be unrealistic and would always choose to remain unconventional even in mainstream cinema. “To be honest I would love to be a hero but is it practical to do it? No. I cannot dance like Hrithik nor fight like Shahid. I love watching their films. I loved Ranveer’s role in my film but I cannot do it because it won’t suit me. I don’t want to confuse the audience because it’s foolish of me to compete with these people who are well versed in it. I want to make my own niche.”
But that doesn’t mean Gulshan is restrictive about his roles. Moving away from his forte and exploring genres has always been one of his dreams and his future projects reflect just that. “I have completed a comedy film recently with Radhika Apte titled Hunterr directed by Harshvardhan Kulkarni which is a slice of life kind of film. And I am also going to start shooting for a thriller called Cabaret to be produced by Pooja Bhatt. Here, I’ll play a role with lighter shades of grey, but surely not a villain.”
Very few people are aware of the fact that Gulshan Devaiah has had a connection with the world of acting before as a theatre artist. But cinema for him is passion. The actor is in love with every aspect of filmmaking. Ask him if theatre has taken a back seat and he immediately agrees to it. “I love cinema. I love the process of filmmaking. I just love being on the set. I have taken a temporary retirement from theatre. And I would like to go back to it only when I get the urge to do it again. Jab woh andhar ki awaaz kahegi ki to go back to the stage.”

Elated with her highest ever world ranking of 24, reigning national squash champion Joshna Chinappa wants to end the year with an improved show at the Hong Kong Squash Open.
The 27-year-old who was recently conferred with the Arjuna Award has taken giant strides after her comeback from a career threatening knee injury last year which saw her rapidly dropping in rankings to 72.
“The injury cost me a lot of time and brought down my rankings. But, since it has been great journey. I’m happy to achieve my best career ranking of 24 and I want to improve it further,” said Joshna, who will be the top draw among the women in the third edition of NSCI men, women and double squash championship that starts here on Wednesday.
“To get the Arjuna Award was nice. But when I went to Delhi to actually receive it was like another level,” she said. Joshna has been training in Mumbai from the last fortnight under former India men’s no. 1 Ritwik Bhattacharya and physical trainer Ahmed Yusuf. The duo helped her get in better shape during rehab as well.
“I have been in Mumbai for the past two weeks to train with Ritwik and do physical training with Ahmed Yusuf. I am enjoying my game.
“This tournament coincided with my stay here so I decided it to play here to be well prepared for next month’s Hong Kong Open,” said Joshna, who is the top ranked Indian woman player after Dipika Pallikal (12) who trains in Australia.
Disappointed with squash missing out again from the Olympics, Joshna wants players to look ahead.
“It is very disappointing. Squash wasn’t a less deserving sport for the Olympics. But we enjoy it and will keep pushing for it.
“I am looking forward to winning medals for India in the Commonwealth and the Asian Games,” said Joshna who along with other top players had actively campaigned to make squash an Olympic sport but lost out to wrestling at the last stage.
Some top Indian players including Saurav Ghoshal, Ravi Dixit, Deepak Mishra besides Joshna will be in action.

From hiring a personal coach, to changing his technique and mindset, to losing weight – Robin Uthappa chats about his plans for a comeback
On April 23, Robin Uthappa watched Chris Gayle annihilate Pune Warriors on his way to a record-breaking unbeaten 175 from the best spot at the Chinnaswamy Stadium: behind the stumps.
Dressed in a plain white v-neck t-shirt, Uthappa looks fit – not something that could be said of him through his career. We’re sitting in a coffee shop at the team hotel in Bangalore. He orders a fresh strawberry juice; when told that it’s not available, he opts for sweet lime with ice and no sugar.
Most T20 performances are soon binned from the memory but Gayle’s assault, the highest individual T20 score, carried a personal meaning for Uthappa.
“It was reconfirmation of all the things that I am doing,” he said. “I have been working on coming to terms with making peace with myself about my own game, about the confidence I had about my own game. Watching him broke a lot of barriers for me.
“You could achieve whatever you want to achieve, the way you want to achieve it. If you believe that you can actually do it, just persist with that belief and work hard towards it. It is gonna happen. The world is going to see it.”
Last July, Uthappa found himself in Belgium, in a contemplative mood. He had decided to be on his own to sort out his life. He was 12th on the run charts in IPL 5 – a season when Pune Warriors finished last. Uthappa felt he had had a “decent” domestic season with Karnataka. But he had not played for India in an ODI since July 6, 2008. His last international appearance had been in the rain-affected T20 in South Africa, before the IPL in 2012.
“I went alone for ten days on a holiday,” Uthappa said. “I was at a bus stand in Belgium and I called him up. ‘Sir, I want to work with you. I want to fix my game.'”
The man he called was Pravin Amre, the former India batsman, who coached Mumbai to three Ranji Trophy titles in five seasons. Amre had helped Uthappa make a small technical change during the IPL in 2012. The suggestion had worked well and in July that year, Uthappa hired Amre as his personal coach.
****
In 2011, Uthappa had been restless. Self-doubt gnawed at him from the inside.
“I saw myself as an aggressive batsman. At the beginning of 2011 I realised I was not channelising all my energies into the game. I needed to bring back my focus and passion and love for the game. To some extent I wasn’t playing the game for what I actually started playing it for. I told myself I wanted to fall in love with this game again rather treat it as earning money, making a living or as a profession.”
He considered the things he could control. “Probably the first thing is my body. I have never shied away from going to the gym, training hard or pushing myself. I can very confidently say I am one of the strongest guys in the country right now, as far as fitness is concerned,” Uthappa said.
One of his best friends, Sheethl Goutham, recommended a nutritionist. “I got more disciplined about food. I have more knowledge and understanding about what I should eat and shouldn’t eat. That discipline started dripping into my game as well.”
With three months to go for the 2012-13 domestic season, Amre pointed out that Uthappa was carrying plenty of extra weight on his upper body. Uthappa did the hard yards and came back 20kg lighter. “It showed me his passion to improve,” Amre said.
Once he was hired as Uthappa’s personal coach, Amre started with a Powerpoint presentation where he focused primarily on the basics of batting. He told Uthappa that he would have to flush out whatever he had learnt over 17 years. “Eighty percent of a player’s success is mental, 15% is dependent on his skill sets, and 5% is fitness,” Amre said.
Amre would make many trips from Mumbai to Bangalore and both men would be seen at the National Cricket Academy. Amre also took Uthappa to the maidans of Mumbai, where he got used to batting without a sightscreen.
Amre noticed a lot of bottom-hand play and wanted Uthappa to correct his grip. “With that grip he played for India and cleared the ground. It was not that it was wrong, but there was so much room for improvement,” Amre said.
In the nets they worked on methods that were more correct technically, more compact. They worked on a series of skills in sequence – proper stance, pick-up, down-swing, the impact point, follow-through.
One of the major technical changes Amre suggested was for Uthappa to modify his stance. Uthappa was not convinced, but Amre persisted and pointed out that it would help him adapt his game better to different pitches.
“I had a very closed and upright stance,” Uthappa said. “I used to play so much on the up that I would not have control over my shots, especially against the fast bowlers when it came to drives square of the wicket or even in front of the wicket. With the wider stance, I am now more flexed. It helps me to be more on top of the ball and also read the trajectory of the ball.
“I feel more technically sound than I have ever been. I am playing the new ball with ease. I am dominating, am able to score runs, get off to good starts, build a solid foundation.”
For the first time in ten years of domestic cricket Uthappa faced about 1200 deliveries a season. He did not count them but Amre told him. “I have never been known as that type of a batsman,” said Uthappa, who scored 683 runs in nine matches.
He said it not matter that he made only one century. “I saw the difference because I enjoyed just being there at the wicket. Occupying the crease was so much fun. Middling the ball became the definition of domination for me.”
Before the Ranji Trophy last year Uthappa toyed with idea of skipping the entire season, because he didn’t think he was quite ready. He ended up playing and finished as the second-highest run scorer in his team.
“It showed me that even though I was 60% ready and not completely sure of everything I was doing, I came out as good as any. That gave me a lot of confidence, which spilled into the Ranji one-dayers.
“I got two hundreds and two fifties. And in a couple of games, I got out on 49 and in one I retired on 48. I was the top-scorer in the country in domestic one-day cricket.”
When he made a 33-ball 24 against the Australians in Chennai he knew he was getting to the point he had desired. “Man, I loved that innings. I just knew… it was just a confirmation for me again that this is the level of cricket I am meant to play. And I know I will play that level of cricket. And I know that everything I am doing will take me to that level of cricket again. It is only a matter of time.
He is 28 now, still confident that age is on his side. He says he can afford to overhaul his technique and mindset and continue to stay confident.
“I am very, very sure about my processes. I am very confident about the work that I am doing. I know I have compromised on being my aggressive self, but I know I have done [it] for a good solid scientific reason.”
In June this year, immediately after the IPL, Uthappa moved to Mumbai to fine-tune the changes to his technique and to break some “physical and mental barriers”. In July, he scored a triple-century in the Safi Darashah Trophy, playing for Karnataka State Cricket Association XI against Jharkhand. He was part of the India A side that played against visiting A teams from New Zealand and West Indies, and scored one century before hamstring tendinitis in his left leg curtailed his progress.
According to Amre, Uthappa is now able to hold the shape of his bat and has improved his balance while playing his strokes. “The whole idea of him hiring me was to make him a complete cricketer who can perform well in all formats. That is my goal,” Amre said.
“I am,” reads a tattoo on the inside of Uthappa’s right arm that he got inscribed in Singapore earlier this year. “It is an affirmation to myself. It is an acceptance of myself in my truest form. I wanted to get something which reminds me of the direction I’m in and the direction I want to be going in.
“I’ve made some hard decisions in the last one-and-a-half years. And I’m bloody proud about the decisions I have made because I know I am heading the right way. I know who I am. This is the person I have always wanted to be.”

Bangalore sure loves its share of evenings dedicated to literature and the arts. No wonder then, that even a heavy down pour in the city couldn’t stop literary enthusiasts from making it to a city hotel where author Kaveri Ponappa launched her book, The Vanishing Kodavas.

A picture of a misty Talacauvery shrine in Kodagu Mysore :
Until recently, Munnar in Idukki district of Kerala trumped Kodagu as a tourist hotspot, but the hilly district of Karnataka with its coffee plantations and pleasant weather has emerged as the new favourite in 2012-13.
From January to November this year, Kodagu received as many as 10,73,961 tourists and Munnar only 3,53,545, although it has more to offer tourists in terms of infrastructure, going by the data of the tourism departments of the two states.
A recent survey by the Indian Tourism Development Corporation, New Delhi, too placed Kodagu in numero uno position among hill stations of the country, says Mr Phaneesh, assistant director of Department of Tourism, Kodagu.
With its many homestays and natural beauty drawing more people to the ‘Orange County’ of late, the department of tourism is now waking up to its potential and building more facilities here for visitors.
“We are also in the process of regularising the unauthorised homestays that have come up all over the district,” Mr Phaneesh adds, clearly upbeat at the new emerging trend which he is sure will bring good business to the district.
While Kodagu saw a large number of tourists even in the monsoon, Munnar received 40 percent less tourists owing to bad weather, according to Mr Soman, assistant wildlife warden of Eravikulam-Rajamala Wildlife Sanctuary.
“Tourism in the hill station has been badly hit due to the heavy monsoon. The average tourist inflow per day has dropped from 6,000 to 3,000 this year,” he says.

Local flavour: Tata Starbucks recently launched the Indian Estates blend./ Photo by Janak Bhat
Innovation has been the watchword for coffee brand Barista Lavazza, and this is highlighted in Amore, an art-themed menu for India. The menu pairs food and coffee, and the selections are presented using pop art. The company regularly does thematic menu launches. Last year it tied up with fashion designer Rina Dhaka to launch Milano Collezioni, a fashion-inspired menu. The art work for Amore was done by Arrested by Art, a Delhi-based art boutique. And, Barista Lavazza is not the only coffee outlet that is introducing new concepts and innovation to woo Indian customers, particularly the youth.
Tata Starbucks recently launched the India Estates blend, an addition to its Indian Espresso Roast blend. Sourced and roasted in India, this blend is part of the company’s strategy to deliver locally relevant experiences to its customers. The company recently introduced Pumpkin Spice Latte, a Starbucks classic. And, to complete the experience, it is offering a wide range of merchandise, including a mug designed specifically for India. Internationally, Starbucks’s country and city mug series is quite popular.
Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) introduced Friends of Frappe, a new menu comprising beverage and bite-sized snacks focused on the Indian market. The special menu offers Bestie Combos, which pairs a snack and beverage like Amore does.
With coffee culture becoming popular in the country, the number of cafes has been growing fast. At least 200 outlets have been opening every year, for the past five years. The market is estimated to be worth Rs.1,000 crore, and growing at around 15-20 per cent annually. It is said that India can take another 2,000 cafes in the near future.
Santhosh Unni, CEO, Costa Coffee India, said coffee shops “have become the favoured hang-out zone for the youth and the preferred meeting place for a wide profile of people”. “It highlights not just a shift in taste, but a cultural shift as well, where young, affluent Indians are more interested in global trends than ever before,” he said. “The increase in disposable income and shifting lifestyle preferences are the key drivers of the growth being witnessed in the Indian coffee market.”
Traditionally, India is tea-drinking, with the coffee to tea ratio being 1:7. India consumes only 80gm of coffee per capita, as against six kilo per capita in Italy. The current boom in India is coming from two distinct trends—middle-class consumption and out-of-home consumption.
“Consumer acceptance is actually driving the growth in consumption, as well as the café culture,” said Nilanjan Bhattacharya, COO (India and SAARC), Barista Lavazza. “Globalisation, expanding base of the middle class, rising disposable incomes, changing lifestyle patterns, coupled with exposure to international trends through films, advertising, youth community sites and personal blogs are all factors which are driving this trend and the shift in consumption patterns.”
Tata Starbucks sees a huge opportunity in sourcing and roasting local premium Arabica coffees for international consumption. Tata Coffee ensures that the coffee supplied to Tata Starbucks is 100 per cent locally sourced and roasted. Tata Starbucks is a joint venture of Starbucks Corporation and Tata Global Beverages.
All the major players in the Indian cafe market are trying to maximise the customer’s experience in the cafe. CCD has around 30 outlets uniquely designed to hook the youth. The company is active on social media, using the platform to gather feedback from customers. It also holds coffee-tasting sessions for customers.
Avani Davda, CEO, Tata Starbucks, said the “Starbucks Experience” is built on three basics: “our products, our places and our people”. “Our offerings, in-store experience, and store design reflect the community gathering place that Starbucks is known for,” she said. “Customers come for coffee, stay for the inviting warmth and return for the very human connection.”
K. Ramakrishnan, president (marketing), CCD, said the company had coffee plantation trails at its resort—The Serai in Chikmagalur, Karnataka. Tata Coffee, too, is popularising coffee plantation trails at some of its exquisite estate bungalows in Karnataka.
Costa Coffee launched Costa Laughaccino, a stand-up comedy series by leading artists from India and the US. They also organised Costa Rhythm and Brew, where the likes of Leslie Lewis, Rabbi Shergill, Indus Creed and Indian Idols performed at Costa cafes.
Barista Lavazza reached out to the customer with its Click-a-Coffee photography contest. The best 100 photographs chosen by ace photographer Pradeep Dasgupta will be brought out as a coffee table book. The company also has Friendship Jam, an event for music lovers and amateur bands. The company has been hosting Penguin book launches. The first book to be released was Shobhaa De’s Sethji. Barista Lavazza also brought out a new coffee, named after the book’s title character, for the launch. During the launch De tweeted: “Sethji coffee—go for it guys. It’s seriously yummmmm. Even the book reads better after a mug or two of the brew….”
Visibility, too, is top on the list for the cafe chains. “We have established our outlets at different locations such as places of tourist interest and hill stations to catch the attention of the customers,” said Ramakrishnan. “CCD has outlets all over, from religious places such as Vaishno Devi, Haridwar and Rishikesh to places near Metro stations in Delhi. We also have outlets in Austria and the Czech Republic.”
And, the coffee boom is good news not just for the well-heeled. Costa Coffee’s special HR initiative provides employment to the physically challenged, including the hearing-impaired. The company invests in special training for these employees. Store managers, shift managers and many in the senior management are schooled in sign language to ensure better coordination with the special employees. Currently, 15 per cent of Costa Coffee employees are special, and the company plans to raise it to 25 per cent by the end of next year.
